Yes i think it is even quite sensible to consider the possiblity of this universe being contained by a giant blackhole.
This universe(as it is known) is generally considered to be expanding (excentric movement), whereas a blackhole
ultimately is a concentric movement.

A universe only has to be smaller than what is around it, and there is no doubt more than one way for a universe to exist. The universe we exist in could just be a flash, and we think it is taking billions of years, because we don't have anything but what is in this dimension to compare...Yet

The universe we exist in could just be a flasht

a very coherent flash at that but nonetheless yes just a bleep.
For myself i understand it(the duration of the flash) as a sinuswaveform within a larger sinuswaveform hence i find the use of the word multiverse far more accurate then universe.

The theory that predicted black holes in the first place – general relativity – says that all the matter inside them gets squashed into a central point of infinite density called a singularity. But then, "things break down mathematically", says Christian Böhmer of University College London, in the UK. "We would like to see the singularity removed."</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://space.newscientist.com/article/dn12853-black-holes-may-harbour-their-own-universes.html?feedId=online-news_rss20"><P>Many researchers believe that some kind of new, overarching theory that unites gravity and quantum effects will resolve the problem. <A href="http://www.newscientist.com/channel/fundamentals/mg19526121.200-string-theory-the-fightback.html" linkindex="28">String theory</A> is the most popular of these alternatives.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/BB6149BD-86AE-412D-A5A3-988F04202EAC/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
